Hey this policy is about feelings not actually helping people stay safe and get off the streets.

They are taking the same approach as Portland. Which to be honest doesn’t seem like it’s improving things on the streets there. They forgot half of the equation that made this successful in places like Portugal.

Access to the kind of healthcare you need to battle mental health and addiction issues in Canada is completely inadequate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Portland has more access to services for struggling people actually. I may be totally off base but they have a huge amount of funding for this population given their size, as I understand.
